The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 617

Xu Tian did not kill the remaining few men in the dark.

Instead, they kept their promise and released them all.

Gu Chi wanted to kill him, and coincidentally, he also didn't want to stay in Northern Zhou any longer.

After returning to the city, he rode back on horseback by himself.

Because the carriage was already broken.

He could only ride his horse back to the city of Northern Zhou.

Upon entering the city, he heard that the Northern Zhou envoy was searching for him everywhere.

Xu Tian was neither sad nor happy.

Poker face.

He simply said he had official business to attend to and went directly to the college.

Gu Chi did not go back, but came to the academy to grade the exam papers.

Xu Tian frowned slightly when he saw Gu Chi.

As a teacher, Gu Chi is indeed a rare talent.

However, he has indeed stood out somewhat when it comes to himself.

He knocked and entered.

Gu Chi looked somewhat surprised when he saw Xu Tian, ​​but that surprise was fleeting.

"Didn't Teacher Xu also go to the Changyuan Festival? How come she's back so soon?"

He was still wondering to himself, since he had hired only top-notch experts.

But unexpectedly, Xu Tian was able to return unharmed.

And you came back and immediately went to him. Could it be that Xu Tian has already discovered something?

Just as Gu Chi was beginning to have doubts.

Xu Tian sat down on a chair next to the car.

"Actually, Dean, you don't need to do this. Since you don't want me to stay here, I also want to leave."

Gu Chi was shocked upon hearing Xu Tian's words.

"What? Teacher Xu wants to leave? Why?"

He thought Xu Tian would stay here forever and never leave.

That's why they resorted to this desperate measure.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian said he wanted to leave.

You must understand how much the Northern Zhou emperor wants him to stay.

He actually wanted to leave at a time like this.

Gu Chi realized that Xu Tian knew he had sent the assassins, and he was worried that Xu Tian would tell the Northern Zhou emperor about it.

His brow furrowed slightly.

But then Xu Tian said, "As a teacher, does Dean Gu think it's appropriate to harbor jealousy?"

He was slow-witted and dull.

Xu Tian continued, "If those people really killed me today, wouldn't the Dean feel any remorse?"

Hearing this, Gu Chi was finally able to confirm it.

Xu Tian was indeed certain that he had sent those assassins.

If this matter gets out...

Let alone the fact that he couldn't stay in his position as dean.

Even as an ordinary teacher, he is not qualified.

Thinking of this, Gu Chi immediately walked up to Xu Tian and bowed with his hands clasped.

"Please don't tell anyone about this. I'll do anything for you."

Gu Chi looked somewhat flustered.

I'm terrified that Xu Tian will tell everyone about this.

After all, the envoy going to the Tang Dynasty had a very good relationship with Xu Tian.

If Xu Tian were to reveal this matter, that official would surely inform the Emperor.

He'll be utterly disgraced then.

I have to give up trying.

Seeing that Xu Tian did not make any move.

Gu Chi immediately knelt on the ground.

"Lord Xu, I am truly sorry for what happened this time. It was my fault; I was blinded by fame and fortune. I hope you can forgive me."

Xu Tian came here today with ulterior motives.

Since Gu Chi didn't want him to stay here, and he also wanted to leave, they were in the same boat.

Xu Tian helped Gu Chi up.

"Dean, there's no need for that. If you really don't want me to reveal this matter, I do have a plan, but I wonder if you'd be willing to help?"
